Why Keto is not a fad diet?
Many people think of the keto diet as just another fad diet. But the truth is, there are plenty of health benefits associated with this way of eating. Keto has been shown to help with weight loss, reduce inflammation, and even improve energy levels. Read on to learn more about how a keto diet can benefit your overall health.
Keto is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been gaining momentum in recent years. There are two main types of fuel that the body can run on - fats and carbohydrates. Many of us have been taught our whole lives about the importance of “dietary carbohydrates” and that we need carbs as our main source of energy. This is not true!
Weight Loss
One of the most common reasons people try a keto diet is for weight loss. And it's no wonder why; keto is an effective weight loss strategy. Weight loss will happen fairly quickly. The term “ketosis” refers to the state in which the body is using fat as its fuel instead of carbohydrates.
Reduce Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the body can cause a wide range of disorders such as fatigue, depression, weight gain and disease as it damages the healthy cells, tissues and organs. A keto diet is great for reducing inflammation, and also offers many other health benefits.
